I want to…

From April 2017, the majority of businesses will be able to choose which company provides their retail services for their water, sewerage and trade effluent. This is part of a Government initiative called Open Water. Click here to find out more.

Eligible business customers have already been advised of the change meaning their new retailer will provide a full customer service, including billing, enquiries and complaints.

If you are an eligible business customer, your existing account with South Staffs Water will be automatically transferred to South Staffs Water Business and you now need to visit their website here to access your online account

If you have selected another retailer, please contact them directly. Details can be found on the open water website here.

If you have not been contacted by a retailer, South Staffs Water will still continue to provide your full customer service. Please continue to use our website in the usual way.
